http://training.esri.com/gateway/index.cfm?fa=catalog.courseDetail&CourseID=50111422_9.X (Desktop III)
ESRI has expanded their courses as part of the training restructure and shifted some of the lessons in Introduction to ArcGIS 1 the new Desktop I: Getting Started with GIS class and in a free Web based training class, Getting started with GIS. Currently there are no ESRI Authorized Instructors within State government for the Desktop I class. We therefore strongly recommend any prospective student that does not have some experience with ArcGIS and is planning on taking the Desktop II class, to complete the Getting Started in GIS Web training at the following link: http://training.esri.com/acb2000/showdetl.cfm?DID=6&Product_ID=915
Note that ArcGIS software is necessary to complete the course exercises. ArcGIS installation can be requested from IOT for state employees. Internal agency training approval procedures may also be required for state employees.

The Indiana State Library State Data Center will be giving a presentation on the basics of locating Census information at the Block Level - Monday, May 11th, 2pm – 3pm, in Room 428 of the library.
How do you get that population number for your next report, paper, or grant application? The U.S. Census Bureau, of course! The Census divides counties into Census Tracts, then into smaller Block Groups which hold Census Blocks. Data provided at the Block level is best for analyzing the population at the neighborhood level. This workshop will walk you through using Census maps online and the American FactFinder website to find data on Age, Race & ethnicity, Income level, Employment Status, and more. We will use examples of Blocks and Block Groups within Marion County.
